The problem was the hire, ACC needed a business guy not an AD

Notice the resumes of the commissioners now. Big 10 Huge network sports executive and agent Big 12 Huge network sports executive and agent (from NBA) SEC huge corporate lawyer Phillps highly respected AD from a highly respected private university. No sensing of the business of sports, just academics and student athlete issues. (Was a good hire for university presidents, suck for the ACC sports business) Be great if there would be new commissioner. and he retires to some tenured professor position

Pylons • 12/06/23 10:08 AM ET
Im not on the snub but overall qualifications

kingofcassell • 12/06/23 12:11 PM ET
there are plenty of people on TSL that probably believe that.**
reestuart • 12/06/23 01:35 PM ET
Some didn't like that he was not all over the media the weeks prior pumping

Exactly. You have to get in front of the narrative and SELL...
jesuisvtguy • 12/06/23 11:05 AM ET
And ACC fans give a standing ovation
Pylons • 12/06/23 11:55 AM ET
LOL... you're probably right, but nothing worse than not even trying.**
jesuisvtguy • 12/06/23 01:07 PM ET
He absolutely needed to be lobbying for FSU and promoting the league he
goodbadugly • 12/06/23 10:27 AM ET
I'm not going to fault him for something that would have made no difference
Pylons • 12/06/23 11:02 AM ET
Yeah, I think it would have been nothing but a negative.**
reestuart • 12/06/23 11:50 AM ET
Probably saying he is providing little to no "push back."**
EDGEMAN • 12/06/23 10:12 AM ET
Yeah, push that brick wall!
Pylons • 12/06/23 11:05 AM ET
Your opinion and that of others......
2hhoop3 • 12/06/23 01:59 PM ET
Yeah, I see that side of it
